I'm still a little skeptical about this whole remake (because, seriously?! Taking on the animated BATB is gonna be tough…), but the cast, so far, looks promising. It includes Emma Watson as Belle, and even though I haven't technically seen her play in anything, I think that with the right hair/costume, she could do very nicely as Belle:) Also, Emma Thompson is playing Mrs. Potts…it just looks like a good cast, okay?

I understand--like I said, I have to picture her with the right hair and costume...and be careful to not confuse her with Kristin Stewart, ha. I'm open to seeing their take on it, but...they're gonna have to tread pretty darn carefully;)

I can hardly even believe this is real, the casting is so perfect! I can't decide if I'm more excited about Dan Stevens or Luke Evans... or that they both going to be singing! I want to see this movie right now.

I actually wanted Lee Pace as Beast but Disney didn't listen to me! ;) I can't really see Dan Stevens as Beast. I can totally see him as Adam but not really as Beast. But I am SOOOO excited the Luke Evans is in it even though he plays the bad guy!!!

This actually made me angry at first because I still haven't forgiven Dan Stevens for leaving Downton Abbey in such a dreadful way. And honestly, I cannot picture him as the Beast. Nope. Sorry. Or maybe he's just forever and always fixed in my mind as Matthew Crawley.Emma Watson, on the other hand, will be a great Belle. I can definitely picture that. But I was somewhat annoyed when I first learned she had been cast because she doesn't have any singing experience. And neither does Dan Stevens, right? The singing is the only thing I'm concerned about. I'm so hoping that I will be pleasantly surprised.I've heard great things about the new Cinderella, but Beauty and the Beast is a totally different animal. Let's hope they can make this remake just as delightful.

Haha, yup, we stopped watching Downton Abbey when we learned that he dies in that finale...;)Yes, that's the thing. I guess with any remake of a classic, you take a big risk, so...fingers crossed! I know Emma Thompson has a lovely voice, so here's to seeing how the others sing:)
